Hi - I'm going to Australia for 3 weeks early next year and have no idea what I need to do in terms of visas/injections (if any) - also I need to take prescription medication with me, so figure, since there's likely to be a stop in Singapore that I'll need a letter from a Doctor?? Is there a website that lists everything I need to be aware of at all?

You don't need injections for Oz (unless you're visiting rural agricultural areas, where there are rice fields or marshlands):

You can apply online for an Electronic Travel Authority (which is effectively a visa) to enter Oz:

A letter from your doctor would be a wise precaution, both for entry into Singapore and into Oz.

Get a letter from yr Doc listing all your prescription stuff and keep tablets in yr HAND CARRY in a press seal sandwich bag which will be easy for inspection if req. Don't offer to show the stuff until asked, they will show up on the xray so no secrets there, not even in Singapore.
Get yr visa from the address given earlier and make sure you have some dosh in yr bank b4 you get to Oz, they may ask you at the entry point how you will support yourself whilst here. Bring a hat, you can get the corks and string at any fishing tackle shop. Sun cream and aeroguard we have by the truck load and no need for any vaccinations.
Drink plenty of water on the flight, alcohol you can catch up on after you arrive, we've got heaps of that too.
Give us a hoy if you need any more help, only be too glad to help.
